The California Highway Patrol has its roots in the early 1920s motorcycle traffic cops employed by counties and cities. The CHP became a separate state entity in 1929 and has grown from the early traffic enforcement role to that of one of the premier law enforcement agencies in the United States. Their responsibilities range from patrolling the freeways and county roads of California to providing security for the state capital and other state buildings to protecting the governor and visiting dignitaries from around the world. The CHP has marshaled its forces to restore and maintain peace in times of war, civil unrest, or natural disasters.

T.R. Shannon joined the San Jose California Highway Patrol in July 1966, and transferred to the San Andreas Area CHP office two years later, where hed stay for the next twenty-one years. During that time, he drove about 750,000 miles on state highways and county roads, patrolling the most varied climate and terrain in California. Through hot summers, freezing winters, in the mountains, and in the grasslands, he thought fast, navigated ethical quandaries, and believed in and always strived to enforce the law without fear or favor. In this collection of 128 short stories, he looks back at high-speed pursuits, heart-breaking traffic accidents, physical confrontations, unsolved murders, and other eventsfrom the routine to the unbelievable. Some of the people he arrestedand some of the people he saw diehe shed no tears for, but otherslike the first person he arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol, earned his sympathy. An officers job involves much more than writing tickets, investigating sometimes minorbut too often tragictraffic accidents, and helping disabled motoristsalthough all those things are critical parts of the job highlighted in Cow County Chip.

Bringing to light an entertaining array of anecdotes, this collection of police stories recalls some of the strangest, funniest, and most poignant accounts from the freeways, highways, and country roads throughout California. From the family who pulled over for a picnic on the median strip of a busy freeway to the angelic-looking 5-year-old girl who defused a tense traffic stop by sweetly confessing, "my daddy has a beer under the seat," this is an uncompromising view of the everyday pursuits, enforcement stops, arrests, accidents, and weird encounters that patrolmen must endure. Also featured is a panoply of unlikely drunk-driving suspects, including Santa Claus, a Boy Scout troop leader, a newlywed couple, and an airline pilot on his way to fly a plane; the traffic stop of an elderly driver whose license had expired 35 years earlier--and who explained he was on his way to the DMV; and many more hilarious, odd, and tragic stories of life and death on the open road. Encouraging a renewed respect for the men and women in uniform who risk their lives to protect the public, this compilation also contains advice on highway safety and how to behave when pulled over by a patrol officer.

Over the years law enforcement agencies throughout America have acquired a blemished reputation for the occasional enforcement contact that society has considered to be a crime perpetrated against citizens, whether innocent or not. Even the California Highway Patrol has endured an unfortunate criminal act, when one of its own murdered an innocent woman in San Diego during the Christmas Season of 1986. By writing this book, it is my intention to contribute to the reparation of the tarnished reputations of all American law enforcement agencies. I write this book now after 25 years, since my retirement from the California Highway Patrol. I had always intended to document the testimonials of my many close encounters of a God kind and of the literal hundreds of salvation experiences that I was privileged enjoy. This book contains just a few, and I might add that these are the most memorable. It has been nearly two decades since I last spoke of them. But this in no means diminishes there impact and spiritual import, since anything of the spirit is timeless and therefore eternal, even as God, Himself. It is my sincere prayer for you that your heart will be stirred towards Godliness as you read of my memoirs and that as you do so, your soul will be refreshed with His love and goodness! As to the names of those individuals involved, I intentionally used fictitious names, partial names or initials for privacy purposes. However with permission, I have given notable mention of my good friend and brother in arms, State Traffic Officer, Allen Wilkerson. Respectfully Submitted, Ed Marr, STO (retired)
